Chapter 166 Carter's Confession

When I heard those words, I couldn't shake the feeling that the decade I'd spent knowing Luke had been a complete farce.

Had I not been given a second chance at life. I would never have uncovered his true nature. He was utterly disgusting!

He even dared to try something inappropriate with me

I kicked his stomach with my foot and forced him to the ground. Before he could respond, I stepped closer and slapped him across the face multiple times.

He would never have imagined that the self-defense skills I picked up in my previous life would be used against him.

Even if he didn't have romantic feelings for Luke's mother, their bond was clearly a deep and lasting friendship. Because of that. I chose not to bring up the incident. It would only force him to pick between me and Luke.

I Said casually, "It's nothing. I just remembered I drove here and wanted to take my car back."

He said, "Give the car keys to Damian and let him take over."
